Entering a must-win matchup that many players were calling a “playoff” game entering Saturday’s matchup on the road against the Indianapolis Colts, the Pittsburgh Steelers folded faster than a house of cards, dropping a 30-13 decision to the Colts, falling from No. 7 in the playoff picture in the AFC entering the game, to now out of the playoff picture and currently sitting at No. 11 in the AFC at 7-7.
Saturday’s matchup carried a lot of weight in the playoff picture, and the Steelers weren’t able to rise up and meet the challenge, allowing 30 unanswered points to the Colts, blowing a 13-0 early second quarter lead, never challenging much after that early 13-0 lead.
